Another gorgeous (and hot) morning for a long team run, this time meeting up along Summit Avenue and River Road, starting around 8:00 AM. It was an out and back with opportunities to run 4, 5, 6, or 8 miles. I opted for the six mile run for a few reasons. Lesson learned for future Saturday team training runs is to maybe not stay out quite so late the night before playing poker with Jason and the boys. It was tough to stay hydrated and energized.
Still, my last workout for the week was over before mid-morning, and I've got the rest of the weekend ahead of me to relax and recover. So concludes back-to-back weeks with six consecutive days of training in each.
Today's mileage: 6 miles, in 68 minutes (including two water stops).
Week 2 mileage: 18 miles over 4 days of running. Had another two days of cross-training.
Total mileage: 36 miles.
6 Miles, thats impressive! Are you really doing it barefoot?
Didn't do those six barefoot, but a lot of my recent four-milers are using a very lightweight, nearly barefoot running shoe.
Totally Amazing! I cannot seem to get my mind focused enough to eat and exercise right even a few days a week and here you are kicking as* and taking names! Nice Work Robert, truly inspirational and motivating.
Thanks, Katie! Appreciate the kind words, and the donation, too!
